There was also dysfunction stemming from friction between eBay executives and those at PayPal, the online payments darling the auction site had purchased in 2002.
Can you bring me some similar ideas for faster shipping?” That was the first time, sometime in October 2004, that the idea kind of surfaced.
By the time Bezos greenlit the Prime project in a key meeting in late 2004, Wilke didn’t even need to be in the room; most of the hard work was already done.
The service, which launched in February of 2005, was a first of its kind: For an upfront payment of $79, customers were rewarded with all-you-can-eat two-day delivery on their orders.
When it revealed its financial results to investors in early 2005, its stock price plunged 19 percent.
In 2006, Amazon unveiled Fulfillment by Amazon, better known in the e-commerce industry as FBA. The service allowed merchants to store the goods they sold on Amazon inside Amazon warehouses, for a fee; the e-commerce giant would also ship the products on the merchant’s behalf.
In 2010, Amazon launched Amazon Studios in a bid to create its own slate of movies and TV shows that viewers couldn’t find anyone else.
Prime adoption is growing: 40% of Amazon customers in the US are Prime members versus 25% in 2013.
Prime Now launched in December 2015 and is now available in 24 United States markets, which Cowen says represents about 48% of the nation’s gross domestic product.
2015 was the first year in which Amazon’s total shipping costs exceeded $5 billion.
Cowen & Co. surveyed 1,250 United States adults over the age of 18 and found that 25% of the estimated 40 million-plus subscribers to Amazon’s Prime service used Prime Now in January 2016, a result that analysts call “extremely impressive early penetration” in a Tuesday note.
In April 2016, Amazon began letting customers subscribe to Prime Video without becoming full Prime members.
In April 2019, Amazon announced that it was changing Prime — more than a little bit: Prime’s standard promise of two-day shipping was being cut in half.
